First, TPM....thanks for ALL of your posts. I always seem to take at least 2 or 3 good things from every thread you start.

I would like to make a comment about impact players and juco transfers. If you can play, you WILL play, reagardless of your age/year.
I realize this is only one specfic school, but look at UVA last season:
Jeremy Farrell-3B (FRESHMAN)
48 GP, 45 GS
.324-2-32

Greg Miclat-SS (FRESHMAN)
61-57
.314-0-22, led team in SB's
(Bio states was recruited by UNC and The Citadel)

David Adams-2B (FRESHMAN)
62-62
.318-5-49, #2 on team in HRs
(Bio states he was recruited by LSU, South Carolina and GA Tech)

While UVA's postseason performance may be considered disappointing, they were ranked in the top 25 all season long.
Coach O'Connor is making things happen at UVA. I certainly don't know where Farrell, Miclat and Adams were A players(while being recruited), but appeared to me (I saw them play), that they performed like A players this past season.
